Come naked to you I’m almost wearing nothing Flesh is pink Pink is all Except I’ve got my tongue I’ve got my tongue with me I’ve unwrapped it for you I’ve Unravelled it Here… Think my breath is sweet? Think my spit is sentient? Can you feel this muscle? Does my saliva repulse? I’m only Cain I’m only human It’s like shouting in space Cause you only had one chance I don’t care about the rules Cause I felt it with just a whisper It’s like feeling you in space When you only have your breath You know, those buttons pushed You know, those signals moved completely You know, that’s all I have I’m just shouting out in space You know, no candles burn You know, no mammals live completely You know, that’s all I have Now I’m just shouting out in space

Under Water 03:57
Silence Golden dreams are dead Sun has died for me Sun has died for me Sigh, oh Burdens gave to me Bricks filling up my pack I’ll walk into the sea Son, it’s hard Living Under water You’ll live a decent life Until you’re just like me Son, it’s hard living like a daughter It’s honor to fall down To cripple up like me I’m not drawn To this place I’m not drawn To this state Boy, you stain’ dead Boy, you stayin’ dead Dictionary tells you every word that you think you know Boy, you stain’ dead Boy, you stain' dead I know, silly me, I thought you was ready to go Yes, I don’t care Similarly, I wish it didn’t come at all I’m listening But I don’t care Life's a window, I’m looking through Boy, you stain’ dead? This is all that I said There’s nothing wrong with that I tell you everything that you know You stayin’ dead Hell, you stained like death I can smell you and I think that’s all I need to know Yes, I don’t care Similarly, I wish it didn’t come at all Yes, I know it’s sad When all I can taste is the exhaled breath of everyone I know Son, it’s hard Living underwater Son, it’s hard Living like a daughter I don’t care I don’t care Son never understand

Disappointed laughs Disappointed dreams I don’t know I think I’ll take a bath Let it slowly rise I think so I think you gave a laugh I think you told me once I don’t know You said peace on earth I said, oh yeah… The wind blows Can you sense an extra drop 18 inches deep Don’t think so Wanna waste my time Cause time don’t matter none I don’t know Remember you bought that tree I didn’t care at all I think so Remember peace on earth I said, "Who cares at all" I don’t know

You were a stone I was a foot in the muck The black cradle The stained coal cloth love You were a stone then You were a snake in the dust The blackest cradle Dark grime Canopy of sludge There’s a red stain here Mmmhmm Been red mud in your mouth Your black cradle We’d stain anything somehow Wipe the mirror Mmmhmm Take a look at what we’ve got The blackest cradle Rough grain Let the tension rot I know we both lied To each other and ourselves I know we both hid outside From each other and ourselves I know we both gave anything Except what was meant It’s a cold sensation When everything’s been spent You were a black stone I was a char-broiled brain It was a cold thing It was a canopy of rain You were a stone then I was a coal black bruised brain You took a cradle Skin, grind, and metal pain We were a wet flint Under gasoline we’d strain Untied in black smoke In the skin ash we’d flame We were a skin heap Ash and bones alone Untied in black boils In the skin ash we’d called home I know we both lied // We both lied To each other and ourselves // Each other and ourselves I know we both hid outside // Hid outside From each other and ourselves // Each other and ourselves I know we both gave anything // Gave anything Except what was meant // Except what was meant It’s a cold sensation When everything’s been spent Oh oh, sweet remembrance What we tried to be Oh oh, a safe place In my memories Oh oh, sweet reflection Dark chocolate melody Oh oh, reflection brings sunlight Cave of memories

Chimera 03:16
Gathering sticks and twigs To make a fire To make a dance with friends I ate a lot I remember that The coarse burnt orange ring Hearing notes Hearing sounds Our tongues danced with friends I gave a lot Maybe everything Not fearing anything Chimera Don’t you know? Why does fire burn everything? Time Don’t say no Let me go back this time Life gave me gifts I took the box I built the shelf My treasure gold I took it hence And burned it all How don’t I burn it? How don’t I burn it down? I grab onto flames I stare at them all I keep opening my eyes wider Maybe time will collect again Maybe gifts will come out of the flames Maybe every item I burned was just waiting to fly from the fire… Maybe I’m too young Maybe I’m still young No, I won’t move I won’t lay down That’s your move Your fool move My ears hurt My soles are beat red I’d go again But fire burns everything down Don’t throw stones At the back of my head Don’t blame me Cause fire burns everything down I won’t move I won’t lay down I’ll deny you Cause time it burns everything down

S&R 03:45
Bleach My skin Color crayon On the wedding ring It’s all I know This sink sin I feel the twist The twirl on, it’s on me This black lipped ring This black stained shift I know it’s keratin Our hair, nails…our skin Bleach stains Our putrid waste Pink and purple when Let’s bleach everything
